In Memoriam
REV. JOHN H. FORTESCUE-COLE At a meeting of the Southside Cler- icak, held at Babylon, on Monday May 18, the following minute on the death of Rev. John H. W. Fortescue Cole, was adopted by a rising vote :
We are told of Enoch that he "Walked with God: and he waa not for God took him." Rev. John H. W. Fortescne-Cole walked with God and oq Easter Tuesday. April 14th. 1914, the Angel of Death touched him and whispered softly, "The Master is come and calleth for thee;" and so he passed from the labors of earth to "The Rest thnt remaineth for the paople of God"
in the ChUl'C-b eXpcCt&i'ii in Paradiae.
He was a good man; and full of the Holy Ghost, and while we mourn hia losa we know that for him "to die waa gain." His gentleneas and delic¬ acy of speech and manner made it hard to realize that prior to taking orders, his profession was that of a soldier. We forgot that the bravest of the Apostles was not boasting Peter, but the gentle St. John, the Apostle of love. Ill health compelled him to re¬ sign his commission as an officer in the British Army, and coming to this country about twenty years ago, he entered Boxley Hall at Gambler, Ohio, to study for Holy Orders.

Rev. Robert E. Boyle, who has been acting pastor until the arrival of Father O'Toole, has been appointed pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Loretto at Hempstead, with Rev. Jos¬ eph A. Smith as his assistant.
Rev. John L. O'Toole has been en¬ gaged in parish work in three churches of the Brooklyn Diocese following his ordination to the priesthood at the North American College in Rome aboot twenty years ago. He served as cur¬ ate for a short time at St. Patrick's Church, Dutchkills, Long Island City, whence he was transferred to the Church of St. Cbarlee Borromeo, Liv¬ ingston Street and Sidney Place, of which Rev. James E. Bobier, well known on Long Island, is rector.
He remained at St. Charles' Church ontil 1903, when he was appointed by Rt. Rev. Charles E. McDonald, D. D., Bishop of Brooklyn, to establish a par¬ ish in Corona. Thia section had been growing rapidly and the Charch of Our Lady of Sorrows was unable to ac¬ commodate the large congregation.
Father O'Toole purchased a plot of ground on the corner of Sycamore and Elm Streeta, Corona, and within a short time he had erected a beautiful church and rflctory, 'Vhe property ifl now valued at almost $50,000 and is quite free from debt.
The character of the population has changed considerably and the congre¬ gation now includes numarous Italians among its 800 souls. Father O'Tooie's
efforts have not been very successful, as practically all the people have con¬ tinued to.attend St. Leo's, although Father O'Toole was not an Italian. He is succeeded at Corona by Rev. George D. Campna and thej (mrisb will now be an Italian parish.
At Freeport he will find one ,of tbe best pariah plants on Long Island, the magnifioent $100,000 charch being a monument to the energy of Rev. Charles A. Logue, iate rector, who died last October. The parish was founded in 1900 by Rev. William B. Farrell, then rector of the Church of Oar Lady of Loretto, Hempatead, and was attended by several priests pi ior to the coming of Father Logue aa flrst resident rector in 1902.
Father O'Tooie's assiatant, taking the place of Rev. Joseph A. Smith will be Rev. John Finn, one of tbe prieats ordained at St. John's Semin¬ ary, Brooklyn, on Tuesday. May 19. This will be Father FInn'a first assign¬ ment. He ig a parishioner of the Church of St. Antony of Padua, Brook¬ lyn, and sang his first solemn high mass laat Sunday morning in tbat charch.
Both Father O'Toole and Father Finn mU take up their duties and greet the people of Freeport on Son- day. * *

Church, Kenton, Ohio, where he re¬ mained for seven yeara.
After a few months .spent partly in Cleveland, Ohio, and partly in Maus- ton, Wisconsin, and finding the climate too severe, he came to Long Island, and in 1906 was made priest in charge of St. Michael and All Angels'Church, Seaford. His faithful nnd untiring work there, in spite of continued ill health resulted in iinprovt-tiieiit in ev¬ ery way : numbers of unbaptized per¬ sona were brought to receive the Sac¬ raments. He was respected and be¬ loved by all who knew him. *^ His departure from our midat has created a void, which will not easily be filled. Wl^ateVeV the subject under consideration, his contribution to its elucidation was awaited with an ex . pectant interest thut was never disap¬ pointed. One might not always agree with him, but it waa impossible not to be impreased with the wide range of hia learning, or to resist the charm of hia evident sincerity, his deep spir ituality and tbe rare felicity of diction with which he clothed everything he had to aay.

In Memoriam
REV. JOHN H. FORTESCUE-COLE At a meeting of the Southside Cler- icak, held at Babylon, on Monday May 18, the following minute on the death of Rev. John H. W. Fortescue Cole, was adopted by a rising vote :
We are told of Enoch that he "Walked with God: and he waa not for God took him." Rev. John H. W. Fortescne-Cole walked with God and oq Easter Tuesday. April 14th. 1914, the Angel of Death touched him and whispered softly, "The Master is come and calleth for thee;" and so he passed from the labors of earth to "The Rest thnt remaineth for the paople of God"
in the ChUl'C-b eXpcCt&i'ii in Paradiae.
He was a good man; and full of the Holy Ghost, and while we mourn hia losa we know that for him "to die waa gain." His gentleneas and delic¬ acy of speech and manner made it hard to realize that prior to taking orders, his profession was that of a soldier. We forgot that the bravest of the Apostles was not boasting Peter, but the gentle St. John, the Apostle of love. Ill health compelled him to re¬ sign his commission as an officer in the British Army, and coming to this country about twenty years ago, he entered Boxley Hall at Gambler, Ohio, to study for Holy Orders.

Rev. Robert E. Boyle, who has been acting pastor until the arrival of Father O'Toole, has been appointed pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Loretto at Hempstead, with Rev. Jos¬ eph A. Smith as his assistant.
Rev. John L. O'Toole has been en¬ gaged in parish work in three churches of the Brooklyn Diocese following his ordination to the priesthood at the North American College in Rome aboot twenty years ago. He served as cur¬ ate for a short time at St. Patrick's Church, Dutchkills, Long Island City, whence he was transferred to the Church of St. Cbarlee Borromeo, Liv¬ ingston Street and Sidney Place, of which Rev. James E. Bobier, well known on Long Island, is rector.
He remained at St. Charles' Church ontil 1903, when he was appointed by Rt. Rev. Charles E. McDonald, D. D., Bishop of Brooklyn, to establish a par¬ ish in Corona. Thia section had been growing rapidly and the Charch of Our Lady of Sorrows was unable to ac¬ commodate the large congregation.
Father O'Toole purchased a plot of ground on the corner of Sycamore and Elm Streeta, Corona, and within a short time he had erected a beautiful church and rflctory, 'Vhe property ifl now valued at almost $50,000 and is quite free from debt.
The character of the population has changed considerably and the congre¬ gation now includes numarous Italians among its 800 souls. Father O'Tooie's
efforts have not been very successful, as practically all the people have con¬ tinued to.attend St. Leo's, although Father O'Toole was not an Italian. He is succeeded at Corona by Rev. George D. Campna and thej (mrisb will now be an Italian parish.
At Freeport he will find one ,of tbe best pariah plants on Long Island, the magnifioent $100,000 charch being a monument to the energy of Rev. Charles A. Logue, iate rector, who died last October. The parish was founded in 1900 by Rev. William B. Farrell, then rector of the Church of Oar Lady of Loretto, Hempatead, and was attended by several priests pi ior to the coming of Father Logue aa flrst resident rector in 1902.
Father O'Tooie's assiatant, taking the place of Rev. Joseph A. Smith will be Rev. John Finn, one of tbe prieats ordained at St. John's Semin¬ ary, Brooklyn, on Tuesday. May 19. This will be Father FInn'a first assign¬ ment. He ig a parishioner of the Church of St. Antony of Padua, Brook¬ lyn, and sang his first solemn high mass laat Sunday morning in tbat charch.

After a few months .spent partly in Cleveland, Ohio, and partly in Maus- ton, Wisconsin, and finding the climate too severe, he came to Long Island, and in 1906 was made priest in charge of St. Michael and All Angels'Church, Seaford. His faithful nnd untiring work there, in spite of continued ill health resulted in iinprovt-tiieiit in ev¬ ery way : numbers of unbaptized per¬ sona were brought to receive the Sac¬ raments. He was respected and be¬ loved by all who knew him. *^ His departure from our midat has created a void, which will not easily be filled. Wl^ateVeV the subject under consideration, his contribution to its elucidation was awaited with an ex . pectant interest thut was never disap¬ pointed. One might not always agree with him, but it waa impossible not to be impreased with the wide range of hia learning, or to resist the charm of hia evident sincerity, his deep spir ituality and tbe rare felicity of diction with which he clothed everything he had to aay.
